Rollover on Mitchell Road

A one-vehicle roll-over traffic crash sent a woman to the hospital today, Monday.

The crash happened shortly before 1 p.m. on Mitchell Road west of Berger Road as the woman was driving a Chevy sport utility vehicle west on Mitchell Road.

Initial indications at the scene showed the woman's vehicle apparently traveled off the right side of the road partially in a shallow ditch until the vehicle hit an asphalt road drainage trough, which apparently caused the vehicle to roll. The vehicle came to rest on its roof.

Police at the scene said they had not yet identified any witnesses to the crash. Police said the woman was out of the vehicle when the first person arrived on the scene and it is unclear if she crawled out on her own or was thrown from the vehicle during the crash.

The woman was transported to Northern Michigan Regional Hospital by Allied EMS. Her condition appeared to be stable at the scene.
